Download or read book Mustang written by Deanne Stillman and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating narrative with all the grace and power embodied in the wild horses that once populated the Western range . . . [A] magnificently told saga.” —Albuquerque Journal A Los Angeles Times Best Nonfiction Book of the Year Mustang is the sweeping story of the wild horse in the culture, history, and popular imagination of the American West. It follows the wild horse across time, from its evolutionary origins on this continent to its return with the conquistadors, its bloody battles on the old frontier, its iconic status in Buffalo Bill shows and early westerns, and its plight today as it makes its last stand on the vanishing range. With the Bureau of Land Management proposing to euthanize thousands of horses and ever-encroaching development threatening the land, the mustang’s position has never been more perilous. But as Stillman reveals, the horses are still running wild despite all the obstacles, with spirit unbroken. Hailed by critics nationwide, Mustang is “brisk, smart, thorough, and surprising” (Atlantic Monthly). “Like the best nonfiction writers of our time (Jon Krakauer and Bruce Chatwin come to mind), Stillman’s prose is inviting, her voice authoritative and her vision imaginative and impressively broad.” —Los Angeles Times “Powerful . . . Stillman’s talent as a writer makes this impossible [to stop reading], to the mustang’s benefit.” —Orion “A circumspect writer passionate about her purpose can produce a significant gift for readers. Stillman’s wonderful chronicle of America’s mustangs is an excellent example.” —The Seattle Times
Download or read book The Wild Herd written by Deborah Kalas and published by Val de Grace. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the surface, this is a stunning photo exploration of the wild horses living at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. But at a deeper level, it is also an illuminating study of the human-like interactions among the bands of horses, as they move through the seasons and colors of the year and through the natural flow of their life cycles as well. At the heart of The Wild Herds is a passionate love affair. At the age of 3, Deb Kalas was swept into the world of horses, and right away she had a deep respect for their raw beauty and power, and she also had a keen sense of their guiding intelligence and family dynamics. Over the years, her love and understanding of horses only deepened. Then in 2014 Deb made her first trip to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and there, for the first time, she encountered herds of horses running wild and free, as Nature intended, and then and there her life was profoundly changed. With abandon, she threw herself into photographing the wild herds and discovering how their habits and interactions move through the seasons. Soon Deb's work turned into a life mission: To help all of us understand the essence and spirit of these magnificent animals living in the wild. This book eloquently draws together her decades of work, photographing and learning, and through these pages Deb Kalas delivers us a call to action, a silent prayer that we as a people can find the wisdom and the resolve to come together to protect this unique and endangered part of our American heritage.

Download or read book Wild Horse to Riding Horse written by Vivian Gabor and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words "American Mustang" conjure images of long-maned horses running free across wide-open plains. Unfortunately, overpopulation and overgrazing has resulted in necessary management of the wild herds in the United States, which means many Mustangs are captured and placed in sanctuaries where their basic needs can be met. In an attempt to ease the strain placed on these facilities, a federally run adoption program re-homes thousands of wild horses each year with the support of events such as the popular Mustang Makeover. Trainers and Mustangs spend 100 days working together before competing in a series of classes that showcase their skills in front of an audience of prospective buyers. Individuals who might not feel ready to adopt a wild horse right off the range have a chance to consider one with a solid training foundation as a potential riding partner. In 2016, horse trainer and biologist Vivian Gabor signed up to participate in the Mustang Makeover held in Germany. Given a sorrel mare originally from the wild herds in Oregon, Gabor recorded her progress over the weeks and months that followed. Readers can follow along, from the very first day when Gabor brought her Mustang home, through the natural, positive, and science-based behavioral training methods she used to successfully start the young mare under saddle. Hundreds of wonderful photographs clearly demonstrate the steps along the way, providing an easy-to-use resource for anyone looking to turn a wild horse into a riding horse.
Download or read book Rants from the Hill written by Michael P. Branch and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If Thoreau drank more whiskey and lived in the desert, he’d write like this.”—High Country News Welcome to the land of wildfire, hypothermia, desiccation, and rattlers. The stark and inhospitable high-elevation landscape of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert may not be an obvious (or easy) place to settle down, but for self-professed desert rat Michael Branch, it’s home. Of course, living in such an unforgiving landscape gives one many things to rant about. Fortunately for us, Branch—humorist, environmentalist, and author of Raising Wild—is a prodigious ranter. From bees hiving in the walls of his house to owls trying to eat his daughters’ cat—not to mention his eccentric neighbors—adventure, humor, and irreverence abound on Branch’s small slice of the world, which he lovingly calls Ranting Hill.
